Research your troubling skin problems to get the best care

Skin care questions can cover a wide range of ailments and issues. There can also be uncertainties at times, such as when you’re unsure of whether a symptom is a skin reaction or an illness. For cases like this, getting help as soon as possible is key.

Although medical professionals typically won’t advocate seeking health advice online, dermatologists can provide you with guidance without requiring that you leave the comfort of your home – if you know where to look.

The dermatology Experts on JustAnswer are available to help you, regardless of the time or day. You can even ask follow-up questions, and approve payment only when you're completely satisfied.

What Customers are Saying:

I feel so much better today, and upon further investigation believe that there is a chance that the responses I got saved me from a serious, even life threatening situation. I am very grateful to the experts who answered me.

I can go as far as to say it could have resulted in saving my sons life and our entire family now knows what bipolar is and how to assist and understand my most wonderful son, brother and friend to all who loves him dearly.
Thank you very much

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

You have been more help than you know. I seriously don't know what my sisters situation would be today if you had not gone above and beyond just answering my questions.

Getting online dermatologist advice without an appointment

Some of the most common inquiries fielded by dermatology specialists include:

What treatments are available for psoriasis? Do I need a specialist?

Would I benefit from getting a chemical peel for my skin problem?

Are there risks associated with getting laser treatments?

Are OTC treatments capable of getting rid of warts for good?

What can I do about my acne?

Being able to get assistance without leaving the house is a big plus, especially in today’s hectic world. but to make the most of the Experts' advice, you should have the following information ready before seeking guidance:

Any symptoms you’ve experienced. If it’s a visible problem, try to be as descriptive as possible. Alternatively, you can take a picture of the problem area that can be provided upon request to the dermatologist who assists you.

The length of time for which you’ve been experiencing the problem

Any changes to the problem that you’ve noticed. This includes lessening or improving symptoms, as well as worsening factors.

Any treatments (if any) that you’ve already tried

This information will help the Expert answer your question promptly and accurately.
